DVR 192.168.99.167 9000

Let’s explain the differences between UID mode and IP address mode.UID Mode (top): Here we have selected UID mode. This mode provides the option of connecting to your DVR or NVR without the working knowledge of networking to connect over the Internet. The UID is provided on the sticker located on your DVR or NVR or from the email you sent your-self during the setup wizard. Use this mode if your DVR or NVR is in a different location to your computer (e.g. DVR/NVR at home; computer at work). For Stream Type select “Sub Stream”.IP Address Mode (bottom): This is the standard method of connecting your DVR or NVR to your computer provided they are located on the same network. This mode normally requires a work-ing knowledge of networking to connect over the Internet. Don’t use this mode if your DVR or NVR and computer are in different locations.

You can configure most settings on the DVR or NVR from the comfort of your com-puter. The screenshot on the left will give you some idea of the different options you can access when you click on the “Device Settings” button.When making chang-es, click “OK” to save changes to the DVR or NVR, and then close the settings window to return to Live View.
